Duck in honey-apple sauce is most often cooked for the New Year or Christmas. It must be baked in the oven to come out with a beautiful and appetizing crust. Honey and apple sauce will give the meat dish a unique taste and aroma, so all guests will definitely not only admire this yummy, but also ask for the recipe for its preparation.

In order for the duck meat to turn out soft, the duck must be wrapped in foil and baked in the oven at a temperature of 190 degrees for at least 1.5-2 hours. Open the foil 30 minutes before the end of cooking. So the duck will turn out with a spectacular and golden crust. Serve the finished meat dish immediately to the festive table, until it has cooled down. The whole duck will look more beautiful, but you can also cut it into pieces for convenience.

  • Duck – 1 pc.
  • Apples – 3-4 pcs.
  • Salt – 1 tbsp. l.
  • Ground pepper – 0.5 tbsp. l.
